I'm working on adding a debounced switch to my S-100 board for triggering /INT and /NMI during debugging and prototyping. Right now, I have a TTL gate driving /NMI, but it seems to me that anything else trying to drive the line would have to fight the gate to lower the line. That's probably not an issue since it'd be sinking rather than sourcing. Would it be more appropriate to drive the line with a tristate buffer gate? One like the 74LS367 would allow me to either drive the line low or deselect the buffer and put the line in Hi-Z.
